Next, you identify the special areas of intelligence that you enjoy the
most, the ones that you have used most successfully in the past. Fi-
nally, you look around you and think about what kind of work you
could do that would enable you to use your special combination of
intelligences at the highest level.
Above all, you must develop a greater respect for yourself and
your potential brainpower. The psychologist Abraham Maslow esti-
mated that not more that 2 percent of adults were doing all that was
possible for them based on their special talents. You must therefore
develop a higher level of faith and confidence in your ability to use
your mental powers to overcome any obstacle and to achieve any
goal that you can set for yourself.
